All dressed up for the Holidays! The food and service are always top notch, and the place is gorgeously festive for the Holidays. A great place to stop by for cocktails and dinner with the food carefully prepared. Portions are generous, and the service is attentive but never intrusive. I can always count on Piccolo's for a fabulous dining experience.

Kilmer our waiter could not have been nicer. He was helpful and made our dining experience especially special. The cocktails were delicious. The Bryant Salad I shared with my husband could have been enough for 4. I had the pan seared chicken and my husband had the halibut. Both exceptional. Finished off the even with iced cappuccinos and shared the apple torte. The staff so graciously sang happy birthday to my husband! Can’t wait to go back!
